The climate of Oruro (Bolivia)
Oruro is the capital of the Oruro district in Bolivia. The city is located at an altitude of 3,700 meters on Lake Poopó. In the vicinity of the city silver and later on tin was found. Because of this the city really grew. Nowadays there is hardly any tin found anymore and the city is becoming more and more forgotten. However, the annual carnival attracts a lot of tourists. Oruro has a cold steppe climate. The steppe climate is characterized by small amounts of precipitation. However, it gets more precipitation than a desert. Especially during summer large amounts of rain can be expected. Temperatures are around 18 degrees on average all year round.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather, extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate information for each month of the year:
